Did they wear gloves?
People often think the food made them sick when they catch a 24 or
48 hour clipper like this. The truth is that they could have picked
this bug up just about anywhere, and the food was just coincidental.
You rarely get this sick that quickly after eating something. More
likely, the guy picked up the bug a day or two earlier, and the
bug just hit critical mass and overwhelmed his defenses.

sticky as hell. I'm going through two Charmin Ultra double rolls PER DAY
just wiping and wiping and wiping. My ass is raw and bleeding.
This might be cause for concern. The red might be blood cells.
Having blood in your #2 could mean some kind of internal bleeding.
That could be an indicator of something like colon cancer or a
rupture somewhere. The original poster might want to get this
checked out. The Subway again could have been a coincidence, and
this problem was brewing for a while.

I agree with the second part of your post, but not the first part. ;-)
When I got Salmonella from eating a raw, questionable egg, it hit me in
less than 8 hours. There was no doubt where I got it.
After being deathly ill for 3 days, (unable to keep anything down but
water, fever, chills, and squirts with some blood) I went to the ER.
They cultured it and it grew up Salmonella so there was no doubt.
Gave me antibiotics and some really good drugs to kill the cramp pain
and nausea. Gotta love IV Demerol <grins>.
Severe food poisoning CAN hit you pretty quickly, and Salmonella can
cause some mild blood in the stool. It's supposed to be self-limiting if
you do not go for help, but he really should if the [censored] is red, and
nothing smells worse than real bloody stool!
Get thee hence to the ER just to be on the safe side!
